Me, I love my Lillie’s, especially these dark purple ones.

    For the vegetable garden, our purple beans. They’re green beans with purple pods that turn green when cooked. My kid thinks they’re magic.

    For our flowers, probably our anise hyssop. Or the frost aster that flowers when everything else is dying back for the winter.

      I grabbed some purple beans on a whim. We have young kids and your post made me happy I got some. I personally find bean and pea flowers very pleasant to look at.

        I like their flowers too. And the purple pods look really pretty along the green leaves

      I wonder if that will swing the kids to my side of the fence. The one kid loves raw veggies, but cooked is a different story.

        Fingers crossed! Mine’s very particular about her veggies too, although carrots and peas are the only ones she insists on being raw.

      My dad used to grow purple beans all the time when I was a kid. I remember thinking it was neat that they changed colour.
